Just out of curiosity more than anything. I was just at my favorite bookstore yesterday and purchased 4 books. I was wondering, for those of us that red for pleasure, wht types of books we buy and who are our favorite authors. Certainly my favorite authour is Larry McMurtry as I have 27 of his books and, with one exception (W.E.B. Griffin) I own no more than 3 of any other author. Mr Griffin I own 7. At any rate, I will list the last books I bought as they were in one purchase:

My favorite author is Steven Saylor, he writes mostly historical fiction mysteries set in the Ancient Roman Empire. His series called the Roma Sub Rosa Series is my favorite and it includes 12 books, he is also the author of ROMA and the upcoming EMPIRE. And I personally communicate with him.

The last 4 books I bought were:

"The Silver Eagle" by Ben Kane
"Lives of the Later Caesars" by unknown authors(Its by historical authors.)
"A Day in the Life of Ancient Rome" by Alberto Angela
"Alexandria" by Justin Pollard and Howard Reid

Still haven't read any of those yet. I have this bad habit of buying more books than I could read in a month. I really should start clearing my backlog before buying new ones, but I can't help it when I go inside a bookstore.
